I have been busy drawing caricatures and working on studio commissions! Here are a few caricatures from some of my events this past month. They are a high school prom, Clemson University, Painters Greenhouse festival, a wedding expo and the University of Greensboro. Let me know if you want me to draw at your event.
Here is a "cartoon map" of Washington DC I did for United Social Sports. The illustration was made into a poster and t-shirt design. The event was a scavenger hunt around the city.
Usually January,February and the beginning of March is slow in the caricature business. Luckily I have been busy. The first photo is an engagement caricature I did for a couple in Greenville, South Carolina. I set up at Falls Bridge in Greenville and the couple sat for their caricature. I attended three wedding shows and talked to brides about having caricatures at their weddings. The gentleman in the hat works for a limousine company. I drew him at a Greer, SC wedding show. The last photos were drawn at a grand opening for Quaker Skake and Lube in Columbia,SC.
Here I am in front of my caricature booth at a local wedding expo. I tell brides having a caricature artist draw at their wedding is more unique than having a photo booth. Guests are entertained by the experience of being drawn and watching their friends drawn as a caricature.
The other photos are samples of wedding illustrations and services. The illustrations can be used for sign in boards, invitations and gifts. For more formal weddings silhouettes are great entertainment. I also create live wedding ceremony paintings! I start the painting while the ceremony is taking place and take reference photos. Then I take the painting to the reception to finish it. You can click on these photos to enlarge them.
I drew caricatures this past week for an interior design company's grand opening. They had me draw on glass samples that had color backings. Here are a few pictures of my work.
I have been busy! Here is a commissioned caricature with an "American Gothic" painting theme. Two dog caricatures rendered in ink and watercolor washes. Live caricatures of some company employees. A thank you commissioned caricature for a company board member. Finally two commissioned caricatures for a graduation present. I have been busy at other company and city holiday events.
